you’ve watched the whole installation… now it’s time for the client verdict. 👀🎀

From designing and installing the giant pink bow for LoveShackFancy in Chelsea, to styling the fabric, securing the tails and dealing with all the little challenges along the way, this installation definitely kept me on my toes.

But this is the moment that matters most.

What did the client actually think?

As a London event stylist, there’s nothing better than seeing the finished transformation and hearing the client’s reaction afterwards.

POV: after all the climbing, fixing, shaping and fighting the weather… this was the moment it all came together. 🎀✨

Part 5 — the grand reveal of the giant pink bow installation for LoveShackFancy in Chelsea.

From a huge piece of fabric to a full storefront moment, this one definitely tested me. But seeing the finished installation in place made every adjustment, every height issue and every last-minute fix worth it.

So… was it worth it? 👀

The bow looked perfect… now I had to make sure the weather didn’t destroy it. 🎀💨

Part 4 of the LoveShackFancy Chelsea store opening installation, and now I’m styling the tails to create that soft, flowing finish.

But because this is an outdoor installation, looking beautiful isn’t enough. Every fold, drape and fixing has to stay exactly where I want it while dealing with wind, movement and the elements.

This is the part people don’t always see. Event styling isn’t just making something look good, it’s making sure it holds up in the real world.

So now the question is…

Will it hold? 👀

Ryan got the giant bow up… now the pressure was on me. 🎀

Part 3 of this LoveShackFancy Chelsea store opening installation, and this is where the styling really begins.

The bow was finally in position, but getting it up was only half the job. Now I had to shape the fabric, perfect the folds and make sure the whole installation looked effortless from the street.

Because with event styling, the small details are what turn an installation into a finished moment.

No pressure then… 👀

Part 2 of the giant pink bow install in Chelsea, and we hit a very practical problem… I couldn’t reach.

So my unpaid helper, aka Ryan, had to step in and save the day while we worked out how to secure the oversized bow properly for the store opening.

Behind every polished event installation is usually a bit of problem-solving, teamwork and somebody taller than me. 😂

Would I have managed without him? Debatable. 👀

Asked for WHAT?! 🎀👀

When LoveShackFancy reached out and asked me to create a GIANT pink satin bow for their London store opening…

I mean… come on. 😭🎀

Pink. Satin. Oversized.

Basically every girl’s dream brief.

But creating something this big is very different from tying a normal bow. It had to have the right shape, the right fullness and still give that soft, romantic LoveShackFancy look once it was installed.

So now I had to work out how I was actually going to make it… 👀

And trust me, getting from a roll of pink satin to the finished giant bow was a journey.

After all that chaos… here she is. 💚✨

If you’ve been following Behind the Drapes, you’ve seen what it actually took to get here.

The missing spigots. 😭
The DJ and I fighting for the same bit of space.
The last-minute problem-solving.
And plenty of “right… what are we doing now?” moments.

But THIS was the finished look.

Rich emerald green venue draping, layered with black and emerald balloon décor, creating a bold photo backdrop for this London influencer party.

And this is why I always show the process.

A finished photograph can make event styling look effortless.

Behind it is usually a completely different story. 😂

Swipe through and have a proper look at the final setup. 👉🏾

Now you’ve seen the whole journey… was it worth the stress? 👀

This one tested me. 😭

Last-minute changes. Setup pressure. Missing equipment. Sharing space with other suppliers. And a few problems I definitely didn’t plan for.

But then you step back and finally see it.

The emerald green venue draping is up.
The black and emerald balloon décor is finished.
The photo area is ready.
And that empty event space from the beginning looks completely different.

This is the bit that makes all the running around worth it.

From an empty London venue to a fully styled influencer party — you’ve seen what happened behind the drapes…

So tell me: was the final transformation worth the chaos? 👀

WHOSE SPACE IS THIS?! 😭

Part 4 of Behind the Drapes with Malvia and just when I thought we were getting somewhere… another problem.

I’m setting up the draped photo backdrop and balloon garland for this London influencer party, and the DJ starts bringing his speakers and sound equipment into the exact same space I need. 😂

Now listen… I know he has a job to do.

But so do I.

And there definitely wasn’t enough room for his sound system AND my balloon installation.

So somebody had to say something.

Guess who? 🙋🏾‍♀️😂

This is the reality of event setup in London. You’re often working alongside DJs, caterers, production teams and other suppliers, all trying to get ready at the same time.

Sometimes you’ve just got to communicate, compromise and figure it out.

But I wasn’t giving up my space that easily. 😂

Did I manage to get him to move? 👀

I nearly lost all my marbles. 😭

So remember my unpaid helper, aka Ryan?

I’m on site setting up the pipe and drape backdrop for this London influencer party, I go through the bag looking for my spigots…

Nothing.

I check again.

Still nothing. 😭

At this point I’m straight on the blower.

“Ryan… WHERE are my spigots?!”

Turns out my lovely unpaid helper hadn’t given me the right ones to install the pipe and drape.

Now I’ve got a backdrop to build, a client expecting a finished setup and I’m standing there without one of the bits I actually need.

This is the side of event styling and venue draping you don’t normally see.

Things go wrong.

Things get forgotten.

And sometimes your unpaid helper nearly gets sacked from a job he doesn’t even get paid for. 😂

But there was still one small problem…

How was I actually going to get this backdrop up? 👀
